From the President

Dear Friends,

Welcome to the fourth concert of SPSO's 40th season. This concert is a benefit concert that the brass and wind section are performing for SPSO. These wonderful and generous professionals are providing their time and talents without pay so that the orchestra can continue to provide the very finest classical music to the community.

In this evening's recital, performed in the new Great Room of The Commons at Arcadia University, you will experience the virtuosity and power of the wind and brass as they perform a truly rare concert event for your listening pleasure. The concert will include such masterworks as: Dovorak's Serenade for winds; Persichetti's Serenade; Holst's Mars & Jupiter from The Planets; and Holst's Suite for Military Band. And, finally, Music Director and Conductor, Allan R. Scott, will lead this wonderful group of musicians in performing the tremendous Syphonie Funebre et Triomphale by Berlioz. As one can readily see, the brass and winds have planned a truly outstanding program for your entertainment. This concert is definitely not to be missed.

I hope that you will join me in thanking these wonderful and generous professionals for their largess by making a donation in their name to the Southeastern Pennsylvania Symphony Orchestra.

So, sit back, relax, be inspired and ENJOY SPSO's Sounds of Wind and Brass!

Very truly yours,

Maurino J. Rossanese, Jr.
President, Board of Directors SPSO
